Ragi or finger millet is rich in calcium and antioxidants and are gluten-free. So I make it a point to include it in my diet often. My morning drink is always porridge, but not the same porridge everyday. If it is
oats porridge one day, it is multi grain porridge or ragi porridge the next day. I also alternate between sweet porridge and savory porridge. So I never find porridge boring. That is the reason you find many porridge recipes in this space. Drinking porridge after my 5 km walk in the morning keeps me active and energetic. I want to share it with you all as I want everybody to enjoy its health benefits and lead a happy and healthy life. This ragi porridge is one of my favorites and it is also very delicious as it is loaded with nuts and dates. If you don’t have time for breakfast, you can make this filling and healthy porridge which hardly takes 10 minutes, but never skip breakfast.Today we will learn how to make ragi sweet porridge (Kelvaragu kanji) following our easy recipe.

Healthy porridge recipe, thanks for sharing.
Hi, Can I make this recipe in the morning and have it during evening time? or it's necessary to drink it as warm?
You can make it in the morning and refrigerate it. Warm it before drinking it in the evening. Discard leftovers if any.
How is the porridge supposed to taste? While my consistency was correct, it tasted rather raw and uncooked- could taste the powder. Pls advise
